Workload and assignments
Work types reported in BruinWalk reviews of this course, across recorded instructors and terms. They may differ from this term's syllabus.
There are no BruinWalk reviews of this course on record as of 8 hours ago, so nobody has told dibs what kind of work it sets. That is dibs holding no reviews at all, and not reviewers who wrote without mentioning the work.
What comes first
The chain dibs can see is 4 courses long before MCD BIO 199C. Read from Fall 2026, because dibs has not read a class page for MCD BIO 199C in Winter 2026 and a department can change what it requires. This is a floor, not a deadline: dibs has not read a class page for CHEM 20B and LIFESCI 23L, so the real chain can only be longer than this, never shorter.
Counted in courses rather than quarters: dibs does not know which of them a department lets you take together.
